Lethargic cat

Is it possible he has gotten hit by a car or attacked by a dog? Since you are pet sitting him I highly recommend trying to contact the owners to get permission to have a vet see him. He may have gotten hit, attacked or had a stroke. Is he able to walk now? Is he eating and drinking yet?

As of late last night, he had thrown up something unidentifiable and had an accident on the rug. We put him on the enclosed deck and he stayed in the corner.

When we got up this morning, he is nowhere in sight. He is an outdoor cat, so we're thinking he ate something nasty and perhaps it got out of his system.

We find it hard to believe he is nowhere in sight based on how he was last night, but he went down three stairs and we have searched everywhere for him. There was no blood when he threw up or when he had his accident, so I believe that may be a good sign?

Thanks for your reply.

Well I hope it is a good sign though it could be just the opposite. Outside cats do have a tendency to go away to die when they are hurt or ill so keep your eyes open for him. I would search the area good- under bushes, in the woods, under any cars, any place that has any shade at all and good luck.
